Nik Lewis...the guy ran great 3 - 5 yard curls this year, but that's about it. Thick Nik...

Not that hard to figure out why we are talking about Matthews. First, this is a fan website where we talk about what we want, not necessarily about what will happen. Secondly, Matthews has played for us, was released early, AND is presently a free agent. Third, Larry Fitzgerald was a star receiver in the NFL, Matthews was not. I'm not saying Matthews will come back here but if I was our G.M. I would be at least calling his agent...if he doesn't get any offers by spring...you never know

I know we released Matthews (a few years ago) a little early so he could pursue the NFL so he may consider us first if he feels his NFL dream is over. He is 28 so a few good years left in his body

I would droll over the possibility of having Chris Matthews, Dressler and Adams on the field at the same time. Needless to say our offense would be that much better in 2018...one can fantasize, can't one?!

Outside chance that Hall remains. (Almost) no chance that Hurl is our MLB next year...there would be riots in Bomberland

Great news on Lapo! Im looking forward to many more years of good offense with LaPolice -and least while we have Nicholls and Harris

I think Medlock is still the leagues best kicker (we have him kick a lot of long ones), but maybe we could save some of that coin for - oh I don't know, maybe a stud MLB

I don't think our tackles are the problem. We have had 3 or more highly touted tackles come in here and have less than stellar years. Me thinks it's our defensive system.

I think you offer Medlock and Dressler new deals, but at slightly less $. Dresser is getting hurt a lot and Medlock, while really solid, is an American playing a typical Canadian position. If Medlock walks I believe we still have that draft pick kid who showed well in camp and will be done school now.

Hurl is a free agent? Thank goodness. That's Walters way of escape. O'Shea: "Kyle, how come my star middle linebacker is not in camp?" Walters: "We just couldn' t agree to terms!"

I'm glad you're not the G.M.

I know it's a Captain Obvious statement but we need to finish 1st in the west next year so that we have one less game to win to get to the big game. I think if we shore up our defense this is a realistic goal. Our offense, with Nicholls and Harris, will be strong for a few more years.

New DC (Mark Nelson or Noel Thorpe) Sign Chris Matthews and Andy Muluamba Re-sign our key free agents Get better at the back end (db's). Is that thru coaching, new players, or more experience...not sure

Fixed it for you

Heh Thanks!

Okay, I have a question. Bob Irving on the post game show mentioned a player the Bombers are very high on - receiver Myles White i think his name was. I dont recall the Bombers having him on their practice roster. Anyone heard of this guy?

And injuries to 2 of our key players didn't have anything to do with our "downward" trend, eh?

Average team? Depends how you define average I guess. So every team that loses in the playoffs is an average team? Hmm.

Another turning point was the Edmonton fumble...that the refs ruled they recovered

Langford in to hopefully replace Washington...replacing Givens would be another head scratcher.. .

When I spoke to Bob a couple of years ago he did say he wanted to work a little less...but Not retiring yet. I hope he calls games till the duration of this new contract. As to CJOB's coverage...they could use a longer post game call in show. I like Doug Brown, but really miss a voice like Mitch Zalnasky (sp?). And also, they do need to make sure they have both guys (Bob & Doug) calling the away games - none of this "we'll pick up a local guy to help Bob with the away games" All in all, good news. I've been listening to Bob since he started (was that '72?).

You are quite right, he hasn't won a championship, he has won championships! 3 in fact! 2 as a coach and 1 as a player.

I hope the Riders win out in the East and then we can beat them in the Grey Cup. That would be the sweetest!

I would expect that if we win at home next Sunday all the coaches are offered their jobs back...but if we lose that game Walters makes the strong recommendation to O Shea that we find another D Coordinator. Just my opinion

Reilly is looking real good right now. In the cold the guy will run a lot...so please send the Smoes east.
